abstract = {Holocene colluvial and alluvial stratigraphy and a radiocarbon chronology are presented for the valley of the lower three kilometers of Raven Fork, a mountain stream draining 194 km2 of high relief (1.3 km) terrain of the Southern Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, USA, which is in a region that lacks good chronological data. Lower hillslopes, alluvial/ colluvial fans, alluvial bottomlands (first terrace and floodplain), and the modern stream channel are landforms described with respect to soils, stratigraphy, and sedimentary structures. Standard methods for subsurface investigations (core holes, excavation units, exposures) are used in conjunction with extensive archeological excavations and cultural chronologies. Radiocarbon ages from each landform are used to calculate long-term-average rates of sedimentation. Results indicate that the first half of the Holocene experienced somewhat more rapid rates of hillslope sedimentation (0.3 to 1.1 mm/yr) than the last half of the Holocene (0.1},

abstract = {Morphological and sedimentological responses of streams to basin-scale impact have been well documented for intensively agricultural or urban areas. Sensitivity thresholds of streams to modest levels of disturbance, however, are not well understood. This study addresses the influence of forest conversion on streams of the southern Blue Ridge Mountains, a region that has received little attention with respect to human impact on stream channels. Basins were chosen for this study to represent the end members of the range of human impact in the area, with the forest cover of the basin used as a proxy for level of impact (ranging from about 70},
